In order to make an intelligent decision about acting as a way to spend your life, do the research. Its a shame they only write biographies on the successful actors, when in fact it would be much more instructive to talk about all those actors who never made a dime in the business. Because the public is only exposed to star actors’ lives, most people have the idea that that is the lifestyle of any actor…

In modern times we are used to getting things done fast. Whether it be due to a lack of time or in other cases laziness, we like immediate results. But ACTING IS A MARATHON, not a fast sprint. So its imperative that as actors we develop a patience. You will spend alot of time waiting for a call, or an answer, or even success…

Any business person planning to invest time, energy, and his life savings in a new business commits himself to relentless research. He interviews people in the field, checks the library and/or theinternet for information, and conducts a market survey to see if there is a need for his product.
In many ways, an actor is no different than any other business person. To enter the marketplace in an effective way, the actor needs to analyze his product by coming up with clear, concise answers to a series of essential questions that you need to ask yourself..

For some artists their job is their safe-haven. When they are in a bad personal situation they can immerse themselves into their craft and forget about it for hours, days… For actors that is practically impossible. The difference lies…

First of all let me get things straight: auditioning and managing your career IS a job. You have many responsibilities both on a daily level as a longer-term level, so if you don’t feel like you are working hard even without having a steady role, then you are doing something very wrong.

Calling your agent (or finding one if you don’t already have it), same with your manager or publicist, going on auditions, interviews, memorizing sides, studying in class and on your own, reading up on your career, updating your resume, going to callbacks, working out….

Everyday we are faced with great decisions. But not every day our decisions have such a large impact as this one: should I chase a dream that has very few possibilities of generating large income but fulfills me personally, or should I invest my time in a career with steady and greater income and find time someplace else to dedicate to my passion.

One of the biggest mistakes that new actors make is being a little too cocky or even disrespectful thinking that it would project more confidence and casting directors or producers would look at them as if they were someone who stands his own. WRONG!

People can read through silly tactics that only make you look bad, immature and like someone they don’t want to work with. But worse than being cocky is being insecure and…
